About This Activity
Water is a recognizable and intriguing topic for many young children due to its abundance and presence in our lives. The Water unit builds upon student learning experiences through hands-on activities and scientific phenomena. Beginning with a series of questions posed in a storybook, students will explore properties of water as they investigate characteristics of fluids and cohesion. Then, through a series of measurement, experimentation and engineering, early learners will observe the intriguing properties of water beads. Students will also engage in a biotechnology-inspired activity as they manipulate scientific tools and techniques to pipette water according to provided patterns. Finally, in a culminating activity that promotes creativity, imagination and innovation, students will use loose parts to design a creation symbolic of what they have learned throughout their study.
